"sabimidori" means "rust green," so I assume the rust is a reference to the red sheen. setouchi is an inland sea in japan, and the setouchi shimanami is a highway that goes around and across that area, connecting the major cities and islands.
Thank you for another year of excellent company and guidance, Mr Figboot! I was really looking forward to this 'best of' year-in-review video. I am very happy to see Santini and Shibui North included; and even more so the Stilo&Stile bunch. These people are full of fantastic, fun (and reasonably priced) ideas --they really are a breath of fresh air (their micarta MZ especially must be my favourite pen to hold --this year and possibly ever!)
Why did I click on this video? Why did I thoroughly enjoy every minute of it? Thanks, David. It was cool to see your desk setup, among other gems in this video. Happy New Year!
same, my workhorse actually, nice for one of the fabulous inks to have that weird super cooperative quality where it takes some unreasonable length of time for it to dry out in a pen and never seems to clog.
One full year of being a Figboot fan! I've adored binging your older videos this year and I always make sure to catch every single upload. Hope your next year is just as good!
One more year of joy and success, i hope, always enjoyed the yearly video with favorite FP , a habit we all enjoy. Season greetings, and let us start a new year with sharing our best wishes for you and family and all the followers in here 🎉❤
Nicely done, sir. Happy Holidays..... and I'm glad I have, or will have, at least ONE of the pens you've shown here today. (c; It is not scheduled to arrive until the mid-point of '24, but hopefully will be worth the wait.
There is a cleaning tool from Sailor for Sailor Pens that I already own several years now called Sailor Maintenance Kit. It does look exactly the same and works in the same way as the Schon cleaning tool you showed in this video. I'm really happy to see that it exists for other pens now too, as I really love the way to clean my Sailor pens like this. It's super quick and easy! Thank you!
Merry Christmas David, and thank you for your excellent and significant contribution to the community. It’s great to hear you’re planning bigger and better things for your channel throughout 2024. I very much look forward to it.
Hi David, as always, I have really enjoyed all your videos this past year! Thank you for all the wonderful information, and for introducing me to new to me artisans. Looking forward to next year! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎉
Merry Christmas, David. I too loved your USA states video, and I loved this one. You do wonderful content. A great 8 years! Well done to you- I was worried you were going to say you were stopping it. Bless you, David.
David, I have very much enjoyed your videos here on YT. Have also learned a lot about various pens, most of which I will never use or own. Still lot's of fun and entertaining. thank you and I wish you another year of success on your pen (and stuff) journey.
One of these days I’m going to have to pony up for a Monoc. I’m glad to see Ian merited a mention. I got one of the S&S Raids pens and I love it for the iridescent raucous against the frost white and for how well it writes. Your fifty states video was one of my favourites, too. I enjoyed hearing about you travels and having my own memories jogged. I’ll not manage to match your feat, but I hope to see s few more states before I get to that undiscovered country. Eight years! Amazing. Thank you so much for all those wonderfully informative and engaging videos. I wish not just a happy new year but a happy, healthy, and pen-filled 2024!
Based on your review I also bought the Radius Prisma. I was sorely tempted to get the ensso urushi but just couldn't pull the trigger, so I consoled myself with a Piuma in ultem. Love them both, so thanks for the recommendations, the aspirational pens, and for just having an awesome channel in general.
Happy Holidays! Always love your reviews and favorites. When I consider a new pen, I usually check to see if you have a review. Your top picks are always interesting and often have me lusting after pens I just can't afford. So when you recommend something below $350.00 (preferably under $250.00), I take notice. Your reviews are thorough, and you always give reasons why you like or dislike a pen. Thanks again, and I look forward to more.
David, Allow me to add my thanks to you for your remarkable reviews, your fascinating stories, and your part in giving a bunch of weirdos who have a penchant anachronistic method of writing and strained fingers a way to be a community. Query: isn’t there point of the video in the Colour Traveler box to allow one to take some ink worth one on one’s travels? I love the Barbasol can. Does it clone the inks? And that Goldspot catalogue is always exciting, but your review took it up s notch this year! That Bukamondo (sp?) is jaw-dropping. It is one of the mist gorgeous things I have ever seen. I’m so glad you have it in your hands now! I can hardly wait for the next video! The contrasting patterns really add to the visual interest and mesmerizing aspect of the pen. Geez. Wow. T
Merry Christmas! Thank you for posting so much in 2023 - you got me into fountain pens and now i can’t get enough! Looking forward to your videos in 2024 :)

Sabimidori is wonderful. One of my favorites.
Mine, too!

Great review and was happy to see Leonardo’s Andromeda made the final list, it’s a beautiful pen and writes great❣️

Thanks for a great year. Merry Christmas. Best wishes for next year.
Thank you for another informative and entertaining year! Best wishes to you and your family for 2024 :)
Happy New Year David.
Thank you!!
Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing this. BTW, Taccia is pronounced Tasha. And Bokumondoh -- Bohkoohmohndoh.
Is it me or my monitor?? The Color Traveler "BLUE" ink is in my opinion totally GREEN, not blue!
You are right
Awesome mention of the Goldspot catalog!!!!! It really is an event that I look forward to each year.
The prices are so clearly displayed..... useless tbh
I discuss prices in each of the individual reviews. There are links to each of them in the notes below the video.
Congrats on another great year. Happy holidays!
Thank you this was Great. Looking forward to the coming year with you. All the best for the remaining 10 days of Christmas and the coming year.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these items.
Merry Christmas and thanks for your videos!
